Read Countless Expert Opinions on Whether or Not Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj Have Bad Blood

I guess you could say that.

So if you were anywhere near an internet connection over the last hour, you probably read or heard some news about Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj having bad blood. Why do they have bad blood? Well, because apparently Taylor thinks Nicki did a little subtweeting (the millenial version of passive aggression) about her VMA nominations earlier today.

Hey guys @MTV thank you for my nominations. Did Feeling Myself miss the deadline or…?

Taylor responded with this, which immediately lit the internet on fire.

@NICKIMINAJ I've done nothing but love & support you. It's unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot..

— Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) July 21, 2015

And then Nicki said this!

Huh? U must not be reading my tweets. Didn't say a word about u. I love u just as much. But u should speak on this. @taylorswift13

So, as we said before, it looks like Taylor and Nicki have bad blood. Where are we getting that reference? Well, because on her very successful album 1989, one of Taylor's lead singles is a song called "Bad Blood," which has the lyrics "baby now we got bad blood." If you're unfamiliar with what "bad blood" means, it means that you "don't agree with someone anymore." It also means that you "don't like each other" and you are "beefing." So yes, it seems like these two pop stars now have "bad blood," which, yes, again, is a term for "not liking each other." It's funny to make a joke about this because, hey, this is a relatable thing to say because "Bad Blood" is an extremely popular song and, oh baby, you are sure to get a bunch of RTs and favs—maybe at least double digits! LOL. Anyways, lots of people thought made this joke, which again, is funny, because there are so many levels.

I guess Nicki and Taylor have Bad Blood now
